In just a few hours, 30 young undocumented activists who grew up in the United States will attempt to return home. <\/p>\n<p>Wearing caps and gowns, the young people have gathered at the Port of Entry in Laredo, Texas to ask for re-entry. Attorney David Bennion will be filing thirty discretionary requests with the Administration asking for re-entry for the young Dreamers.<\/p>\n<p>NIYA\u2019s action on DREAM 9 back in August had the support of 43 members of Congress who wrote letters on their behalf to the Obama Administration. The group also gathered over 27,000 signatures in an online petition. <\/p>\n<p>The DREAM 9 spent more than 2 weeks at the notorious Eloy Detention in Arizona where they started a hunger strike.
